This week's question comes from Maggie
"Hi Orna and Matthew,
A couple of years ago I met a lovely man who I managed to turn into a similar version of all the other men I met, I am very much in my masculine, had a bad abusive relationship with my dad, tried my hardest to be the opposite of everything he wanted of me to defy him and turned into the perfect woman with totally male perspective, I raced motorbikes, did a physical man’s job, etc. everything, but I still attracted men, as I am attractive physically etc. But always ended up with the loser who couldn't look after himself and ended up being nasty and critical to me, because I had basically emasculated him by being good at doing

How can I keep having hope?
This week's question comes from Silvia
"Hello to two of the most inspiring people!
I was in a 5 year relationship with a man I loved, I thought he loved me but now I realize maybe it was not love. I could not feel like a woman in that relationship, he always needed more than me emotionally and later financially. When I expressed my needs he left and found somebody else immediately. I still have not been able to find a new partner with whom to create a more equal relationship. I have done a lot of spiritual work and still that special person does not appear. How can I keep having hope?"

Why Do I Still Struggle?
This week's question comes from Joelle:
Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been following you both for some time now and I’ve been doing my best to really get a grasp of my Love Imprint and why I’m still struggling when it comes to having a long-term relationship.
Being successful very young in my career path may have set me up to have disappointment in my love life. I have been married, divorced, I raised two beautiful children who have families of their own, and yet, I find I am unhappy.
I just can’t seem to be the same person when it comes to love. I can make things happen in my business easily and yet feel like such a failure in my relationships. I feel like I’m broken and

How Do I Love Myself More?
This week's question comes from Shannon:
"Dear Orna and Matthew,
I have been working 7 days a week and have just taken the time to go through over 6000 emails. I read your Love Notes Weekly for this week and it stopped me in my tracks.
I am 47 and have been married for almost 6 years. (My 3rd marriage) I'm super embarrassed to tell you that my husband and I have not been intimate for almost 7 years. We live as roommates.
How do I "Be more kind with myself and love myself as I desire to receive love"?
Thank you in advance,
Shannon

Is Your Cup Empty or Overflowing?
Dating Advice
Who should consider an Inner Child Date™?
Anyone who may be feeling burnt out, stuck, stagnant, resentful of responsibilities, blocked creatively, time challenged, over-worked, over-burdened, and/or stressed out to name a few.
We are all creative beings. We are all powerful beings. Our power is great! We can use that power to create or destroy.
Our number one priority is to take care of ourselves. We must fill our own cup to overflowing and then serve from the saucer. We take care of others from our overflow. Service is its own reward. When we let others drink from our cup, or we allow our cup to dry out we will get resentful.
It is imperative we know what fills

Should I Take Him Back?
This week's question comes from Missy:
Orna and Matthew,
I have been following you two for years, reading your newsletter and listening to your teleclasses and I find that I’m in the position to really need your help. I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and about six months ago he left.
After all that we shared together, he broke up with me and I felt truly devastated. I am a successful woman with a great career, kids from a previous marriage, and a full life. I thought he was the guy… and then he broke my heart.
My question comes from the fact that now he’s back. He wants me back and I feel torn… do I take him back? How will I know he would never do this to me
